And you really oversimplified the code above. The reality is:
for (i = 0; i < MAX_MSI_CTRLS: i++) {
u32 status = read_msi_ctrl(i);
for_each_bit(status)
handle_irq();
}
So sure, the worst case here is MAX_MSI_CTRLS * 32, but if all
possible 256 MSI interrupts are pending at the same time, you have
other problems than that.
With threaded interrupts we would have 256 invocations of
wake_up_process() so nothing should take ages.
Thanks a lot for your time and comments - I'll follow your
recommendations and use IRQF_NO_THREAD.
